From Pygmalion, by George Bernard Shaw

EASY

"I tell you, it's easy to clean up here. Hot and cold water on tap, just as much as you like, there is. Woolly towels, there is; and a towel horse so hot, it burns your fingers. Soft brushes to scrub yourself, and a wooden bowl of soap smelling like primroses. Now I know why ladies is so clean. Washing's a treat for them."

From Act Two

CLEAN DOWN

"To clean down in another woman's house, while ostensibly doing her a favour, is also to do her an injury and a disservice."
